For our Family of Customers in these areas, here are your top 3 tips for keeping your exterior solar screens in tip top shape this autumn: 1. Gently Clean Your Shades Before the autumn storms arrive, taking the time to inspect your solar screens for leaves, debris, and dirt can help prevent future damage that these unwanted items could potentially cause. 2. Retract Your Shades When Not Using Them The easiest and most impactful way to protect your exterior solar shades is to keep them retracted when not using them. Even our highest end shades can be damaged in Colorado storms. High winds, hail, and heavy rain fall can all damage your shades if they are left out during these times. 3. Professional Inspection If you have any questions or concerns about your exterior solar window shades or outdoor retractable patio screens, our Family of Customers can always call us. For only $99 our Installation Specialists can assess your shades and make any minor adjustments needed before the winter weather rolls in. Maintaining your exterior solar shades is essential for keeping your outdoor space comfortable and functional. Here at SunSaver, we understand the importance of personalized customer Service and are always available for our Family of Customers. We are not just a business, we are a family. When you become our customer, you become part of the SunSaver family. Interested in adding exterior solar shades to your home?

Our longtime Family of Customers — many of whom have been with us since we opened in our founder Karen Nimock’s home (lovingly known as “Grammy K” in our homes) back in 1996 — know that we proudly stand behind the quality of our products, the strength of our warranties, and the exceptional service we provide. We will step in anytime you need us to be of Service, however, when you find your awning auto-retracting on you, all it takes is two new AAA batteries replaced in your wind sensor! How Do You Know if it's Time to Change the Batteries in Your Retractable Awning’s Wind Sensor? You've had your awning for more than 2 years. Wind sensor batteries need to be replaced around every two years to ensure proper communication between your wind sensor and your awning's motor. Your awning retracts without any wind. Without clear communication between the wind sensor and the motor, your motor's safety feature will turn on, retracting your awning when not necessary. You click the button to bring your awning out, but it goes right back in . Again, with a poor functioning battery in your wind sensor, your motor will rely on its safety feature to stay retraced. When your wind sensor batteries need to be replaced, it can not communicate to your retractable awning's motor properly. Your motor is looking for the wind sensor, can't find it, so the motor's safety feature clicks on and auto-retracts to keep your awning safe. Luckily, this can easily be fixed by replacing the batteries with two AAA batteries! View the videos we made for you below to help you replace your batteries: 1. If you have a Somfy Wind Sensor click here. 2. If you have a SummerSpace Wind Sensor click here. As always, we are happy to be of Service and come help you change your batteries anytime. You can call us at (303) 872-6132. We look forward to shading your world and brightening your day!

The top 5 benefits that come with choosing a retractable awning over a stationary awning: 1. User Choice With a stationary awning, you're stuck with shade 100% of the time. With a retractable awning, you get the flexibility to choose when you want your area shaded or when you want to soak in the sun. Whether you are shading your deck, patio, or pergola - retractable awnings give you the luxury of choosing when you want to be shaded or not. 2. Longer Life Span Due to the nature of their extended exposure to the element, stationary awnings are much more prone to weather damage, faded fabrics from sun exposure, and dirt, debris, and animal damage. Retractable awnings on the other hand have increased protection from the elements. When it storms, you can bring them in. When you're not using your patio awning, you can retract it in. 3. Protection Retractable awnings offer UV protection, privacy protection, and because you can add drop shades and adjust the pitch the way you want it, they also protect your furniture from sun damage. Fixed awnings only shade a portion of your area, and when the sun changes, you're stuck with whatever angle the awning has. A retractable awning on the other hand can be angled exactly how you need it to cover your porch and furniture, while also adding a drop shade for additional shade throughout the sunniest parts of the days. Win-win! 4. Convenience With the click of the button you get the sun or shade you want in a retractable awning. It truly doesn't get easier than that! 5. Add-Ons With a retractable awning you get the options to add on an additional front drop screen, a cassette that fully protects your awning when retracted, manual or motorized use, a wide variety of beautiful colors, a wind sensor for extra protection, and so much more.

When it comes to enhancing comfort, energy efficiency, and style in your home, exterior solar shades are a smart investment. They help block heat and glare from the sun before it reaches your windows—keeping interiors cooler and protecting furniture from UV damage. To make the best choice for your space, here are the top three things to consider before buying: 1. Opacity Take time before purchasing to decide how much view you want to maintain, how much light you want to enter past your shade. South and west-facing windows often benefit from lower openness to combat intense afternoon sun, while east-facing areas might do fine with higher openness for soft morning light. 2. Manual or Motorized This is completely your choice! Do you want your shades to be controlled by the click of a button, or do you prefer a manual feature? Motorized options are great for large or hard-to-reach windows and can often be programmed or integrated with smart home systems. Manual options are great for smaller, easy to reach shades. 3. Color and Design Before purchasing, it's great to consider the color of fabric that will look best with your home. At SunSaver, we offer various options to ensure your style will integrate smoothly with your home. Exterior solar shades can make a huge difference in the comfort and efficiency of your home. By considering openness, functionality, and design, you’ll be better equipped to choose shades that not only look great but also work hard for you all year long.

With the arrival of spring sunshine and warmer days, it's the perfect time to give your retractable awning a little TLC! April and May are ideal months for a quick awning refresh to keep your awning looking fresh and working like a charm all season long. Here’s a simple way to clean your awning at home: 1. Gently brush off loose debris or leaves. 2. Check for bird nests or anything that may have found a cozy home over the winter. 3. Mix a mild dish soap with warm water and use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the fabric. 4. Be sure not to scrub too hard—gentle pressure is best to avoid damaging the fabric. 5. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry fully before retracting. Cleaning your awning now can really help extend the life of your fabric and keep it looking great year after year. Want us to handle the cleaning for you? We’re happy to help! Our team offers professional awning cleaning to spruce up both the fabric and hardware of your retractable patio awning.
